Hello, I have a Sony Vaio TX3 ( VGN-TX3XT ) , which runs a on an intel celeron ULW, and has a i945g graphics chip.
I have reinstalled with the squeeze install cd, but cannot boot the kernels on the machine. I can get into the machine from the rescue mode on the installer, ( if I chroot into the env. it looks fairly ok ). I can boot memtest86 and memtest86+ from the boot menu on the hd, but not the kernels. I have looked at the initrd and it looks ok, ( atleast it is possible to gunzip, and un cpio it and have a look around ). grub2 reads the initrd image, unpacks the kernel and hans after writing 'Booting the kernel' I have tried noapic nolapic acpi=off no-hlt no-irq nomodeset and most options I can find to the kernel. I suspect it hangs partly into the linux init() function, and if i set vga=788 or vga=777 the text clears and I am greeted with a blank screen ... ( vga=788 is what the installer cd uses ). I have tried linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-686, linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-486 , linux-image-2.6.30-trunk-686 to no avail. I suspect I am loosing the display so that I don't get the kernel output, and I don't have a serial port on it. I simply does not know howto continue debugging this, does anyone have any idea? Any help apreciated. Next I will build the kernel from source on the system, and try. / regards, Lars Segerlund. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
